UKVI translation services for visa & immigration documents
UKVI Translation Services for Certified Visa Documents
Certified translation for documents used in UK visa and immigration applications, including birth and marriage certificates, police certificates, passports, bank statements, academic records and supporting evidence.
Certified translations for immigration applications
Translate the supporting documents, not just the main form
Visa and immigration applications can include several types of supporting evidence. When a required document is not in the language requested for the application, a certified translation may be needed alongside the original.
- Upload the complete document, including stamps, seals and reverse sides with text.
- Use the established English spelling of names where relevant and tell us about known variations.
- Include any route-specific instructions you have received.
- Order notarisation only when it is specifically required for your process.
